Hi all,
Is there a way in Adobe Illustrator of using the 'Minus Front' tool from the Pathfinder palette in a way that leaves the object you are cutting into in position (instead of jumping it to the front of your layer)?
For example, I have a series of complicated vectors that overlap each other in a specific way. I want to use the minus front tool to take a chunk out of one of them, but when I do - it forces the vector that I am subtracting a shape from to jump to the front in the layer ordering.
I could use Minus Front and then manually shuffle the object back to it's desired layer position, but this is massively time consuming in this case as there are hundreds of vector objects in play and I have to repeat this process in several areas of the document.
Is there a way/process/preference that simply stops this happening?
Thanks,
Jri
